0 Must Go: Seldon Jr. vs. Popper June 13 At The Trop
Boxing Insider Promotions returns to the Tropicana Atlantic
City Showroom on Saturday, June 13, 2026, as undefeated
South Jersey heavyweights Bruce Seldon Jr. and Josh Popper
headline the biggest local heavyweight showdown the region
has seen in years. First bell 7:30 PM ET.
Josh “The Hammer” Popper of Egg Harbor Township trains at
Bredwinners Gym in Manhattan under Jose Luis Guzman. The
former Rowan University standout earned NFL minicamp
invitations from the Cardinals and Colts before turning to
boxing, and two of his wins have come right here at the
Tropicana.
Bruce “2.0” Seldon Jr. of Smithville trains at the
Pleasantville Recreation Center under Julio Sanchez. The son
of former WBA Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon Sr. and an
Absegami graduate, he has built five wins on the Boxing
Insider stage at the Trop. He has never left the building
without a win.
“Two undefeated South Jersey heavyweights, both with history
at the Tropicana, both willing to step up and fight each
other. That doesn’t happen in 2026,” said promoter Larry
Goldberg. “This is the fight everyone locally wanted to see.
June 13 is going to be a night Atlantic City remembers.”
South Jersey fan favorite Julio “Jewelz” Sanchez III takes
on Shawn Rall, and John Leonardo Jr. returns to the
Tropicana looking to build toward a regional title shot
later this year.
The card is rounded out with Jahanzeb Rizwan, Yoel Angeloni,
Kahshad Elliott, Williams, David Malul, and Daiyaan Butt,
all in separate bouts with opponents to be announced shortly
.
